It contains not only the fragments of the novel published during Musil's lifetime, but also the scientifically processed estate. For the jury, this production set "standards for future radio plays and audio books of the highest order".

The jury of the German Academy of Performing Arts has named Mosaik by Klaus Buhlert, a co-production of Hessischer Rundfunk and Deutschlandfunk, " Radio Play of the Year 2005". The starting point for the radio play were texts by the early deceased writer Konrad Bayer .

“Klaus Buhlert (with a securely led ensemble - Gottfried Breitfuß, Herbert Fritsch , Lars Rudolph , Bernhard Schütz and Jeanette Spassova ) succeeds in finding his own new tone for Bayer and transforming what was once scandalous into vitality. In a fictitious recording situation, he presents Bayer's texts in an associative sequence and elegantly transfers the writer's skepticism to language to the conditions of production and reception of the acoustic medium. Buhlert's piece thus brings back an author to whom literature and radio art of the last four decades owe strong impulses. "

His CD production Ulysses was voted Audiobook of the Year in 2012 and won the German Audiobook Prize 2013 in the "Best Radio Play" category. (Dramaturgy Manfred Hess), 23 CDs, Hörverlag / SWR , DLF ,
